GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

At my time at Byhalia High School I was able to learn so many things about my self as a person and build my character. With the help of multiple teachers I have been able to expand my mind on things I want to do after I graduate. The best parts about Byhailia is that there will always be a teacher to help guide you throughout the semester. There is really nothing that I would like the see Byhalia change because they're making changes each and everyday as a whole.

In all honesty, Byhalia isn't that bad of a school, the administration is just very disorganized and strict at some times. The students have no school spirit and hardworking, genuinely-want-to-see-you-succeed-in-life teachers are far and few. However, overall, it does have decent facilities, supplies, resources, and extracurricular activities available.

There are many things that they could work on but I do see things improving from last years experience. Like the administration has been more prepared and put in better initiatives like the yondr pouch and other things which seems to help things out. There uniform policy has gotten better when kids don't have the uniform on they don't send them home instead they send them to the office to change into a uniform shirt and send them back to class.
